Lil' Tommie,
Stop the hate lies and smear! The facts speak for themselves. You look foolish when you make statements that thinking Americans realize are not based on logic or fact.
You will feel so much better when you set aside the hate!!

Your rants are a total waste of my time and yours.
Faux Noise is a right wing noise machine, filled with lies, hate and
smear, and is for the birds. Their viewers are largely small-minded
conservative "sheeple" who believe the parroted Faux lies hate and
smear.
Keith Olberman will find another network. He is very entertaining,
smart and funny.
